07 - Graphing Parabolas in Vertex Form & Shifting Horizontally

In this lesson, we will learn how to write the equation of a parabola and shift it horizontally left or right along the x-axis.

In order to do this, we discuss what happens to the table of values of a parabola when we shift the x-coordinate. What we find is that with a simple change to the equation, any parabola can be shifted horizontally along the x-axis with a simple change to the equation.

Extraordinary lecture on shifting Parabolas, thank you very much!

[alphasaffi]

Great sir this is the topic w I suppose to cover in my high school but due to the untrained and qualify teachers we have

[marijana]

You deserve so much thanks and likes . This was so good.

[whygman]

Wow you brilliant teacher I learned a lot from you thank you from the bottom of heart

[myhimalayanchants]

Explanation is excellent but when you put value of Y as zero in those equations you can explain the right shift or left shift easily

[amronz]

Still great to learn algebra even though I finished it!! Ill be taking trigonometry this year 😁😁

This is tricky part when doing function transform. If you plus number to the independent variable/input, you get the plot of the function to the negative direction. It is worth exploring this transform using the basic mapping of a function and the table format is a way crystal clear demonstrate this shift.

It seems easiest to see shift in form ax²+bx+c as b÷2÷a at least for integers. But what do I know.🙂

I am a monkey for about 14 years, and i am not able to get out from it.
